Oriental Turtle-Dove
Streptopelia orientalis
- langka
- 55 km/h
- Risiko rendah
A heavy, handsome dove that drifts on long migrations across the continent, scaled neck patches glinting like fish scales. Darker and statelier than its European cousin.
- Populasi
- Global population size not quantified; described as generally common with a decreasing trend. National estimates include ~10,000–100,000 breeding pairs each in China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, and Russia (plus 1,000–10,000 migratory individuals in China, Japan, and Russia).
- Habitat
- Wide range of wooded and semi-open habitats — forest edges, sparse woodland, scrub, bamboo forests, wooded farmland bordering cultivated fields, rural gardens, and increasingly urban areas — from sea level up to about 4,000 m.
- Fakta menarik
- The Oriental Turtle-Dove's distinctive four-syllable "her-her-oo-oo" call is so recognizable that the Ainu people of northern Japan traditionally rendered it as an elaborate spoken phrase in their own language.
- Sebaran
- Breeds across a broad Palearctic-to-Oriental belt from West Siberia and Central Asia through the Himalayas, Siberia, China, Korea, and Japan, with resident/partly resident populations in Taiwan, the Philippines, and the Indian subcontinent; northern populations migrate south to winter in India and Southeast Asia; recorded as a vagrant in Western Europe and in North America (Alaska, British Columbia).
- Makanan
- Primarily granivorous: seeds and grains from cultivated fields (e.g. hemp, sunflower, wheat, millet, amaranth), weed and grass seeds, occasional green shoots, and some gastropods; forages mainly on the ground.
